I am sure that there will be ways to determine whether or not it is an altered audio clip just like it is possible to identify photoshop pictures. Whether it is imperfections, algorithmically induced patterns, meta data, etc.
As this election campaign has proved (yet again), people will believe what they want to believe. So doctored audio clips are not going to add or subtract anything to that equation.
Yeah, because we all know that Linux is immune to hacks, exploits and worms....
Even if this was somehow a failing of Windows (which it most likely isn't), how far is an IT director going to get pushing an OS that is incompatible with the hospital's software applications (accounting systems, patient records, etc, etc)?
Now, that isn't to say that there aren't grounds for this IT director's dismissal. It could turn out that they were negligent and weren't keeping up with updates or using security best practices.... but that is hardly the same thing as basing a dismissal on a software purchase.
I just imagine the NASA technician who is perpetually late to work and has to use the broken tape measure every day because all the good ones are taken already...
On a Mac, I would just assume that the SD card would have a motorized ejector like there was for the floppy and optical disks.
Also, why are the different card types mutually exclusive? Can't they have both? It would take an extra slot, sure. But this isn't an iPhone... is real estate really that high of a premium? Or do they need to have barometric sensors on the MBP?
I think that if WoSign/StartCom made any meaningful moves toward rectifying the situation when it was first brought up, there wouldn't be an issue right now.
Everyone makes mistakes. All anyone is expecting is for the mistake to be acknowledged and corrected.
My understanding is that WoSign/StartCom basically ignored all efforts to get to an understanding and the yanking of trust is literally a last resort.
IMO, $6/year is about how much a digital cert should cost. You are covering the compute time and bandwidth costs and then some.... I don't understand why DV certs are so expensive....
About the only good character (in my opinion) was Flox.
I lost interest in the series as soon as it started diving into the serialized war stories (temporal war).
I mean... it was ok... I just don't feel like it was Star Trek. You know, like utopian sandbox... granted, this is before we all started getting along... but that just means it isn't ST!

New, of course, doesn't necessarily mean better or even more secure. But the world of web browsers is one area that has changed and continues to evolve rapidly.

That is what MS did with Edge.... arguably it is a better browser than IE, but it is now also incompatible with everything that has gone before.
I still love Mozilla and will continue to use it for its amazing extensibility but I can understand if more modern security practices are used to make a fresh engine.
There will be some pain involved, for sure. But I think that Mozilla is needed in this industry. I am not ready to give all my cookies to Google or MS.
Repubs or anyone else could do the same thing. It just happens to help Dems out more so they do it.
But advertising is an indirect form of vote manipulation. All candidates spend huge amounts of money on ads and tangible goods (buttons, flyers, etc) in order to try to influence people to vote a particular way. In effect trying to buy votes.
But we don't call that vote buying, we call that advertising.
Same thing if you give someone a ride and give your spiel. As long as you don't tell them they need to vote a particular way, then this is effectively just advertising.
I think it was really good Star Trek and I grew up watching TOS and remember when STTNG first came on the air.
As a matter of fact, Voyager is about tied with STTNG in my book for best Star Trek series. It has the highest number of good characters. Tuvok is, by far, my favorite ST character of all time. But Seven of Nine and B'Elanna are excellent as well.
I think Voyager was the last true Star Trek. After that it was all gritty "lens flare" Abrahms and serialized war stories.
The only times I have not been able to use cash in America (in recent memory):
- Paying rent (though my current place does allow this) - Paying bills by mail - Opening a tab at a bar - Securing a method of deposit (say on a piece of rented equipment) - Online purchases / identity validation (like for USPS mail forwarding)
I am assuming that other things you might find a huge pain in the ass:
- Engaging the turn signal in your car or otherwise paying attention while driving - Bending over to pick up a piece of trash you accidently dropped on the ground - Washing your hands after using the bathroom - Turning off your cell phone in a movie theater - Waiting more than a day for someone to deliver stuff to your door step - Calling your mom on mother's day

Like it ever was...
Clearly, people don't care about words as much as they do about actions.
Even if that were true, the voice actor certainly has control over their name.
The studio would not be able to claim the actor plays a part in any of the promotional material for the movie.

I would be willing to bet that the intrusion will be traced back to a phishing e-mail or some other social engineering tactic.
If computers are so important, then computer training and procedures should be top priority.
Clearly, they cannot fulfill their primary purpose without them, so why aren't people trained properly to use them?

AFAIK, Firefox only just recently introduced sandboxing in their general release, something which the other browsers have had for a while.
Honestly, this may just be a perception thing. I just know what I have heard from various people. I am not a security expert by any means.
Crushable Runway Technology Saved Mike Pence's Plane
I was really worried that Mike Pence's plane might have been damaged....
Well... in the event of a cashless system, I am sure that dealers would adapt and start taking gift cards or pre-paid credit cards.
Anyway, just because it can be proved that you gave money directly to a dealer, that still doesn't prove you bought drugs....
That is the best idea I have heard in a while.
I really like it. We shouldn't tax minimum wage workers.
I like the way you think sir.
I think they were only talking about making the extension API's similar to Chrome.... or maybe I am wrong.
I don't think that Mozilla has ever had or planned to have a Webkit rendering engine.

I did not even know that MacG had even been rebooted....
It sounds like the new version is nothing more than Burn Notice...
